The superhero series has amassed a loyal following over the years, and its renewal was announced today (Tuesday 14th May) during Prime Video<\/a>\u2019s first ever upfront presentation to advertisers.<\/p>\n \u201cThe Boys is an unabashed and bold series that continues captivating our customers all over the world by piercing the cultural fabric season after season,\u201d Amazon MGM Studios head of television Vernon Sanders said.<\/p>\n \u201cWe are proud of this series that has grown into a global franchise, and we are thrilled that Eric Kripke and the creative team have more engaging stories to tell for all the loyal fans.\u201d<\/p>\n Kripke added: \u201cThe Boys could be the best job I\u2019ll ever have. What other show allows me to write about politics, capitalism, family, and exploding genitalia, though not in that order.<\/p>\n \u201cThe cast and crew are deeply grateful to Sony Pictures Television and Amazon MGM Studios for the opportunity to tell this story for another season. My only problem is that since this year promises to be free of any conflict or misinformation, we\u2019re not sure what to write about.\u201d<\/p>\n Similarly, Katherine Pope, president of Sony Pictures Television Studios, said of the season 5 announcement: \u201cSince its premiere, devoted fans across the globe have been down with The Boys for this unapologetically wild ride.<\/p>\n \u201cAnd we couldn\u2019t be more proud of our producers, writers, cast and crew who bring this genius insanity to life. Now, with a fifth chapter to their story, we can\u2019t wait to see where Eric Kripke and The Boys go next.\u201d<\/p>\n We\u2019re only a month away from the long-awaited release of season 4, but with the news that season 5 is already being planned for, viewers of the series will have further instalments to get their heads around.<\/p>\n The series renewal is certainly great news for fans of The Boys, and it comes after Kripke refused to weigh in on whether or not The Boys season 4 would be it for the franchise when quizzed by RadioTimes.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n Read more:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Citing his past claim that his other series Supernatural would end after five seasons when it actually ended up running for 15, he said: \u201cAs the person who was literally the most wrong in the world of how long a show should go \u2013 like, there\u2019s no showrunner in the history of the medium who has ever been so wrong about when his show was going to end \u2013 I would say that I\u2019ve learned well from that mistake, and I don\u2019t really give away where my endpoints are anymore.\u201d<\/p>\n While nothing has yet been revealed about season 5, we know that season 4 will see a major war kick off between Billy Butcher (Karl Urban) and Homelander (Antony Starr)<\/a>, as Butcher plans to release a deadly virus to take out the supes.<\/p> An official synopsis for the season 4 reads: \u201cThe world is on the brink. Victoria Neuman is closer than ever to the Oval Office and under the muscly thumb of Homelander, who is consolidating his power.<\/p>\n \u201cButcher, with only months to live, has lost Becca\u2019s son, as well as his job as The Boys\u2019 leader. The rest of the team are fed up with his lies. With the stakes higher than ever, they have to find a way to work together and save the world before it\u2019s too late.\u201d<\/p>\n More recently, fans got a glimpse of the action to come in an official trailer, which teased an intense and bloody battle between Butcher\u2019s clan and the supes as Butcher does all he can with his weakening heart.<\/p>\n [squirrel-affiliate-playlist squirrel_playlist_id=\u201d609\u2033 \/]<\/p>\n The Boys season 4 will arrive on Prime Video on Thursday 13th June.<\/strong>\u00a0The Boys seasons 1-3 are available to watch now\u00a0<\/strong>\u2013\u00a0<\/strong>try Amazon Prime Video for free for 30 days<\/a>.
